Tata Projects Limited has successfully delivered Phase 1 of Noida International Airport, marking the completion of India’s largest greenfield airport and the country’s first net-zero emissions airport, ahead of its commercial launch.

Developed by Yamuna International Airport Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zurich Airport International AG, the airport is strategically located in western Uttar Pradesh and is expected to significantly enhance aviation capacity in the National Capital Region while supporting economic growth, logistics development, tourism, and urban expansion.

Phase 1 includes Terminal 1, spanning over one lakh sq m, designed to handle 12 million passengers annually. The airport features a 3,900-metre runway capable of handling wide-body aircraft, a modern cargo terminal, an Air Traffic Control tower, and extended airside and landside infrastructure. Drawing inspiration from the cultural heritage of Uttar Pradesh, the terminal architecture incorporates a wavy profile inspired by the Yamuna River, with interiors enriched by regional art, textiles, and handicrafts.

Mr Vinayak Pai, Managing Director and CEO, Tata Projects Limited, said, ‘The completion of Noida International Airport is a defining milestone in India’s infrastructure journey and reflects the capability required to deliver projects of national significance with precision, scale, and sustainability. It also stands out for the way multiple Tata Group companies came together, contributing expertise across engineering, technology, systems, and project execution to deliver an integrated infrastructure asset of global standards.’

He further added, ‘As India’s first net-zero emissions airport, this development underscores our strong commitment to sustainable infrastructure, achieved through over 85 million safe manhours delivered by a workforce of more than 100,000 people. We are proud to have partnered with Yamuna International Airport Private Limited and Zurich Airport International AG to deliver a future-ready aviation hub that will enhance regional connectivity, support economic growth, and contribute meaningfully to India’s long-term infrastructure vision.’

The airport offers seamless connectivity through the Yamuna Expressway and is planned for integration with future multimodal transport networks, including metro connectivity. Designed for long-term expansion, the airport is expected to eventually handle 70 million passengers annually, supported by two runways, expanded terminal capacity, and dedicated aircraft maintenance facilities.

As India’s first net-zero emissions airport, the facility integrates renewable energy through solar and wind power, rainwater harvesting systems, and sustainable construction materials, embedding environmental responsibility across its development.

Tata Projects’ EPC scope included construction of the terminal building, runway, airside and landside infrastructure, roads, utilities, cargo terminal, ATC tower, and ancillary facilities.
